ELECTRICAL WIRING DEVICE
A circuit interrupting device includes an input conductor for electrically connecting to an external power supply, a load conductor for electrically connecting to a downstream load, a face conductor for electrically connecting to an external load, and a brush conductor in electrical communication with the input conductor and movable between a closed position and an open position. The brush conductor includes a second portion offset from a first portion such that a first terminal and a second terminal are positioned on separate planes. When the brush conductor is in the closed position, the first terminal contacts the load terminal and the second terminal contacts the face terminal to provide electrical communication between the input conductor, the load conductor, and the face conductor. When the brush conductor is in the open position, the first terminal is spaced apart from the load terminal and the second terminal is spaced apart from the face terminal.
Electromagnetic relay
An electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnetic unit, a magnetic moving subunit, a first conduct, a second conduct, a movable lead, and a movable contact. The movable lead has a swing portion and a resilient linkage portion. The movable contact is disposed on the swing portion. When the electromagnetic unit is energized, the magnetic moving subunit is attracted by the electromagnetic unit and pushes the resilient linkage portion of the movable lead such that the resilient linkage portion urges the swing portion to swing and that the movable contact disposed on the swing portion is urged to be in contact with one of the first contact and the second contact. When the electromagnetic unit is de-energized, the electromagnetic unit ceases to attract the magnetic moving subunit such that the movable contact is in contact with the other one of the first contact and the second contact.
